Some nice drone work here, and the jazz is a nice sound love it you are the man , keep up the nice work brother , you are going to rock the RUclips world 🌎 kool nice and good , thanks y’all BigAl California.
Thanks so much! The UP that came under the camera when I had 3 going I didn't even know it was coming and I just happened to be in the right spot. Usually when you least expect something is going to happen it just does. It was a lot of fun putting this video together. Thanks again!
That drone is all over the place, I grew up from 3rd grade on in the metro, about 20 years overall, in a shot looking north in the first minute or so, you see the monument beyond 31st street, you get the shot of the tower formerly known as KBMA/Business Mens Assurance television, at 31st and Summit, right across the street is WDAF and about 8 blocks east is the formerly known KCMO-Tv tower, now used by the PBS station, the area is known as signal hill, I lived about 8 blocks south of the hill twice, and for the life of me have to look at a aerial view to place that trackage now, it blends in so well.. i knew KC terminal railway and amtrak headed west then south leaving Union Station otherwise east... in the days before amtrak was a dream, the Station handled many passengers going all different directions, now you basically have the Southwest Chief once daily each direction, and some more or less commuter trains across the state, however the majority of the office jobs, many from downtown there, have all homed in in Overland Park, about a 20 minutes drive southwest, making those who moved to better neighborhoods and cities north and east years I mean years ago have to drive to work or in some niche shopping way out there. Don't get me going about the downtown loops traffic jam. I mean pattern, ill be here for days, its almost always keep moving left as each lane, in many cases dumps into exit only, so until you get to Van Brunt/Hardesty exit its a mucking fess.
Wonderful! I am a railfan in Nebraska and I love the times I get to visit KC and especially Santa Fe Jct. The drone offers a whole new vista on the tracks in the area that you can't get from ground level. You did a good job of catching the various movements. Thanks for sharing.
at 12:26 with the 3 train passing each other was magnificent. Have a backyard train set and is raised and this video gives me ideas of how to make it look more realistic using post. Thank you
This was simply, Spectacular. WOW, I have Never seen so many Trains at one time going various speeds in various directions. Great 👍 job and a Very Strong Effort here. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment! It was a fun hour of flying that's for sure. I never really know what I get until I get the drone back and can put the SD card in my computer. When flying I am looking thru the camera on my phone. It was pretty cool to get all 4 of them and to capture them together for that length of time. Thanks again!
It has been so long since I have watched this one I didn't realize I had so many nice comments. Thanks you! It is the second busiest junction. The first is I am told in Chicago. There is one thing for certain you never get shut out...lol.
Thanks I usually on my other videos get the ditch the music but it was really cool how most of the music to this one just fit the video so well. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! Yeah it is pretty limited on VR to see around. I am in the works of making a video on how all that works down there. So coming soon. you will have to check it out!
Very nice video. Even though I grew up near Kansas City and railfanned there often as a teen, I've never been to Santa Fe Jct. I'm hearing rumors that someone is going to put up a railcam there. Hope so, that would be cool to watch.
While watching the trains, it is easy to understand why these separations where constructed. The delays would have been substantial with present day trains. Up to the 1980s, no big deal as trains were much shorter.
one of the coolest videos ever, nice work with the drone especially near the end with all that action. can you tell me where I can find the song or track starting at 4:25 please?
I feel bad I haven't gotten on here to answer to my comments I usually don't get this many per video. I will see if I can't find that track it has been about 2 years so it might not be there but I will try for ya.
yeah I actually think I did get it but if I make the videos too long which this one almost is nobody watches the whole thing. I do have a video of the Amtrak coming in and doing the wye to flip around if you haven't checked it out you should be able to go to all my videos I will see if I can't get you a link.
Is that the Missouri River Runner? If so, why is it going EB over Southwest Blvd west of I-35? I thought it went from Union Station east to STL. Or was it down in the yards south of Kemper to get the engine on the "front" and was just heading to the station to start its run? That would make more sense.
Yes it is the River Runner. When it comes to KC the locomotive is facing Westbound. To get it turned around to face East they go into the Santa Fe Junction to flip it around in the wye. I am actually working on a video of how they do it.
David Stevenson, They have not fixed the Problem with the PTC on that route. I was watching the new Virtail Railfan cam on that location on 09/21/2019; you could see Amtrak # 316 with no less than 4 baggage cars
I think I posted one on here I will have to check my videos but I did like my first VoiceOver on it as well if I remember right. you might check my playlist and see or I can get you the link.
Yeah I am working on getting real sound. It takes a long time to produce a video with sound. You can record the sound easy but it is matching it up with what the video is at timeline wise.
I do now! lol. I have noticed you have commented on a few of my videos. I have been so busy with other things I haven't been out to get any new videos but things are slowing down now and about to get going again. love the comment ;)
@@Oldlinestatetrains I thought the music in this one fit the video remarkably and I figure if people don't want to hear the music they can just turn it to mute...lol ;)
Great footage of Santa Fe Junction. Enjoyed the music too.
Thanks!
Some nice drone work here, and the jazz is a nice sound love it you are the man , keep up the nice work brother , you are going to rock the RUclips world 🌎 kool nice and good , thanks y’all BigAl California.
That last shot of all four trains at once is a killer shot. Wow. Beautifully done
Thanks so much! The UP that came under the camera when I had 3 going I didn't even know it was coming and I just happened to be in the right spot. Usually when you least expect something is going to happen it just does. It was a lot of fun putting this video together. Thanks again!
Awesome video of Santa Fe Junction in Kansas City. Doc...you have captured it perfectly !!! Thank you !!!
Chris - Thanks so much! It was so much fun shooting it and making the video.
EXCELLENT!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THOSE LIVE WEBCAMS AND WONDERED WHAT EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE THERE............NOW I KNOW. ENJOYED!
After Fostoria Ohio...this is rail heaven.
Amazing video. Six cameras couldn't capture what you did with the drone. Adds a whole new perspective to why it's Santa Fe Junction.
Wow... great catch...
Alright now this is cool. I've got to check out Santa Fe Junction now

Wow! 4 trains, yes I 💘 trains with great drone video high in the sky. 🌞 🏆
That alot trains out there wow. I love the video. That is very long train BNSF pulling
at 12:26 with the 3 train passing each other was magnificent. Have a backyard train set and is raised and this video gives me ideas of how to make it look more realistic using post. Thank you
From above it looks like the most amazing model layout you could ever wish for!
This was simply, Spectacular. WOW, I have Never seen so many Trains at one time going various speeds in various directions. Great 👍 job and a Very Strong Effort here. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Word>>!! Fantastic video on a lucky day..!!
This is a very fine video of trains and KC.
Very good vid. Thanks for posting!!!
simply amazing!
Usually not a fan of music played during videos but well done! Thank you!
Job well done! That was cool seeing 4 trains! thanks for sharing!

@@docgrommesh3567 This is a classic that will be hard to beat. Not only were there 4 trains at once, but you captured all the movements perfectly!
expertly captured sir. thank you
Awesome again!
Congratulations, that was great! That would make the greatest basement-sized model railroad layout in town!
This is so cool!! Great video!!
Thanks! It was really fun to shoot and edit.
Great stuff! That's worth a sub!
I'll bet you get a bunch of new folks driven by Virtual Railfan's new SFJ cam!
Yeah I couldn't figure out how a couple of my videos have gotten thousands of views and then I figured out VR camera went up there.
Amazing video! Those last shots were incredible!
Thanks!
It's drone footage, guys. The only "audio" you're gonna hear is propellers
Awesome drone footage Doc!! Santa Fe Jct. should be called KC. International TrainPort with all this rail action..4 @once ,amazing...Thanks!
It has been so long since I have watched this one I didn't realize I had so many nice comments. Thanks you! It is the second busiest junction. The first is I am told in Chicago. There is one thing for certain you never get shut out...lol.
Great video and also liked the music
Thanks I usually on my other videos get the ditch the music but it was really cool how most of the music to this one just fit the video so well. Thanks again!
Oh I just seen the strobes in the Windows of that warehouse,in time with the music, nice Touch , thanks BigAl California.
Turned out pretty good
2 Cool. Very well done. The higher altitude helped with orientation. VR on youtube was my only perspective.
Thanks so much! Yeah it is pretty limited on VR to see around. I am in the works of making a video on how all that works down there. So coming soon. you will have to check it out!
Great stuff Doc,good choice of music also.Thanks and good luck.
That was sweet
Well done
Nice job, Craig!
Thanks! Got pretty lucky on this one. It is so tuff to find music for free, but it didn't turn out to bad either. Thanks again Tom!
I hope they get the live cam's at Santa Fe Junction working again soon.
It was surprising to see the K&O unit on the first manifest. Short line units seldom leave home rails. And again, fantastic video!
Thanks you! Yeah not really sure what the K & O was doing on that train??
@@docgrommesh3567 KCT is a WATCO company, could have just been borrowed power from K&O being sent back to home rails.
wow that is a real train traffic ...good catch friend...like
Thanks! It is crazy the amount of traffic that goes thru the downtown KC area.
Wow!! this is great Doc...awesome drone footage !!👍👍👍💣
Much better than the crap a certain RUclipsr by the name of bnsf* does.
Great drone video.
Thanks! One of my personal favorites for sure.
You are very welcome.
Very nice video. Even though I grew up near Kansas City and railfanned there often as a teen, I've never been to Santa Fe Jct. I'm hearing rumors that someone is going to put up a railcam there. Hope so, that would be cool to watch.
Gerf - as of a few days ago, Virtual Railfan has two PTZ cameras located at the Holmes Drywall building
Good video
Nice!
While watching the trains, it is easy to understand why these separations where constructed. The delays would have been substantial with present day trains. Up to the 1980s, no big deal as trains were much shorter.
Nice I hope you get a 5 train meet!
Thanks! It could happen, time will tell ;)
So many bridges oml @-@
Love it...
Thank You!
We need to see a video of what is on the other side of the river.
Are you sure this isn't just someone's giant N Scale layout ? ;)
Awesome video! I Railfan here all the time. Too bad we won't see any p42s on the river runner much anymore.
Thanks! So the P42's are gone now? I guess that is its replacement for good?
Doc Grommesh Hopefully not for good, but that's they're replacement for now
12:08 the beginning of perfect!
one of the coolest videos ever, nice work with the drone especially near the end with all that action. can you tell me where I can find the song or track starting at 4:25 please?

@@docgrommesh3567 thanks
Now that's Investing in Infrastructure!!
1:34 What is the slope where this train is going, in percent?
And you had just missed the Amtrak reversing through the wye to get back to the KC station.
yeah I actually think I did get it but if I make the videos too long which this one almost is nobody watches the whole thing. I do have a video of the Amtrak coming in and doing the wye to flip around if you haven't checked it out you should be able to go to all my videos I will see if I can't get you a link.
Would like to have seen an arrow indicating where you were standing.
Are you actually at sfj right now since there are people here with a drone
Is that the Missouri River Runner? If so, why is it going EB over Southwest Blvd west of I-35? I thought it went from Union Station east to STL.

Thanks/ I just discovered your channel this evening and have already subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing!
Did Amtrak get the River Runner problem fix? Last I heard they had to add 4 cars so the PTC would pick it up.
I am not sure. This was the first time I had seen a Siemens on it though.
David Stevenson, They have not fixed the Problem with the PTC on that route. I was watching the new Virtail Railfan cam on that location on 09/21/2019; you could see Amtrak # 316 with no less than 4 baggage cars
make a video on top of the hump yard in the yard plz ...
I think I posted one on here I will have to check my videos but I did like my first VoiceOver on it as well if I remember right. you might check my playlist and see or I can get you the link.
Thank you ill chek for it ...
Only thing missing is AUDIO. ;)
Very cool spot and video liked and subbed hope you will as well.
The music in the foreground was off putting.
NO TRESPASSING FOAMER TROLL.
Music?
Yeah I am working on getting real sound. It takes a long time to produce a video with sound. You can record the sound easy but it is matching it up with what the video is at timeline wise.
Did you know that i love you alot
I do now! lol. I have noticed you have commented on a few of my videos. I have been so busy with other things I haven't been out to get any new videos but things are slowing down now and about to get going again. love the comment ;)
Try 6!!!
I miss the sound of diesel locos! The „music“ is boring!
Did you need special permission for this? The flightpath for the downtown airport goes right over Santa Fe junction.
No music please.
Bob Parsons yes music
@@Oldlinestatetrains I thought the music in this one fit the video remarkably and I figure if people don't want to hear the music they can just turn it to mute...lol ;)
